(That would have been a more impressive subject line if I had not mis-spelled my own last name while typing it.)
I’m going to try something different this year, and take pre-orders for the calendar up through November 15th. On Nov 15th I’ll place a lulu.com order, have them shipped to me, sign them, and send them to the buyers by December 1, so they should arrive to you in plenty of time to use as Christmas gifts. These are too expensive for me to buy a bunch of extras to have on hand in case people decide post-Nov 15 that they want one, so pre-ordering is pretty damned critical. And I’m afraid this is not the sort of pre-order where you promise you’ll buy one when it comes out, but rather the sort where you actually buy one now and get it in 3 months’ time. :)
After running all the numbers, and being told more than once that I was an artist and undervalued my work, the calendars will cost $25 USD, which includes worldwide S&H for one calendar. If it turns out you want to buy several as gifts or something, please contact me (cemurphyauthor AT gmail DOT com) to work out postage costs!
Just in case you don’t blithely want to hit that button up above without seeing the calendar first, behind the cut is a Ginormous Image mockup of something very like what photos will be in the calendar. One or two might get switched out, but this’ll be pretty close to the final cut, although the images aren’t in any particular order right now.
Ok I will totally be buying one but it will have to wait until after rent…so in another week or so. BEAUTIFUL PHOTOS! By the by that is not an outrageous price for an art calendar, especially since it includes shipping and handling.
Fortunately, they’ll be on sale for several weeks, so you should have time! Glad you like the photos. :)
Great idea! Pics look awesome. I was dirt poor when I lived in England (first 20 years of my life) so I never made it to Ireland (or Scotland for that matter). Had a penpal in Co. Cavan as a teenager so that’s as close as I got. :D
I like the way that some of the pics capture something from a different angle that you may not normally consider. Very pretty! And of course, I already ordered. Gotta support one of my favorite authors, duh!
I love the pictures. My fav is the one at twilight that has the iron fence up close and the church(?) in the background. 4th one from the bottom. My birthday is in March, you know, in case you were having problems deciding what month to put it on. ;) Love the calendar. Great idea. I can’t wait for mine!
*laughs*! I’ll keep that in mind, Jenn!
